Lyrics
Red Flag
Written by: Wendy DeRigo
It all began rather innocently
Took you as quite the man (hey)
Hypnotized when you smiled at me
Now I know I should have ran, huh?
Felt kind of hesitant
But the feeling came and went
So what was I doin'
Fallin' for the fantasy instead?
Didn't take much time
For the warning signs
To show the direction this was goin'
Now I'm movin' on...
Red flag
It's a little mystery
It's just too bad
But here's where I walk away...
We have nothing meant to be
So I won't be here to see
Another red flag
'Cause I'm not waitin'...
It's not perfection that I'm looking for
Not too much I demand (hey)
But the way you always show me love
Contradicts what I am
Now, what about respect
Or the truth I should get
Why do you insist on always being
The one with more control
Everything's in vain
Not a single thing to gain
Accepting your lame excuses no more
'Cause I'm out the door...
Red flag
It's a little mystery
It's just too bad
But here's where I walk away...
We have nothing meant to be
So I won't be here to see
Another red flag
'Cause I'm not waitin'...
Break it down
Break it down
It's time to turn it around
Yeah, I know what I need now
And it ain't you
Break it down
Break it down
It's time to turn it around
Yeah, I know what I need now
And it ain't you (No!)
Red flag
It's a little mystery
It's just too bad
But here's where I walk away...
We have nothing meant to be
So I won't be here to see
Another red flag
'Cause I'm not waitin'...
Red flag
It's a little mystery
It's just too bad
But here's where I walk away...
We have nothing meant to be
So I won't be here to see
Another red flag
'Cause I'm not waitin'...
Break it down
Break it down
It's time to turn it around
Yeah, I know what I need now
And it ain't you
Break it down
Break it down
It's time to turn it around
Yeah, I know what I need now
And it ain't you
